    Social networking websites are the best way to get traffic. Also, if you are acquainted with SEO, try to make your website optimized for SEO, and try to do some off-site SEO as well. (SEO = search engine optimization).

    First, change your overall blog layout so it will be more attractive
    After that then you consider on generating traffic through means such as seo, social media, ppc, forums....
    but you need to have good content first!

    good luck!

    Promote your business offline as well. Such as using promotional products such as promotional calendars as giveaways. Here is one site where I get my stuff and i can also get items less than $1, funpromotionalproducts.com

    Of all the advertising and marketing strategies, you can never doubt on the efficacy of promotional items. Such gifts provide many benefits and successfully take your business to towering and new heights.

    bets traffic is the natural one that comes from the content you put on the website and snippets of which users see in search results, and when they click it they get exactly what they want
    as opposed of all other means to get it via all kind of links including social ones

    Dear Valentina

    One of the quickest ways to provide valuable content to your visitors is to have a BLOG PAGE with COMMENTARY POSTS.

    What you do when you want to make a post of interesting & useful content, is find a relevant YouTube VIDEO to embed into your post, or legally copy an ENTIRE ARTICLE (including resources box) from Ezine, then write a 2-3 paragraph commentary in the video or article.

    You can also use your blog for SEO purposes to help drive traffic - do the keyword research first (Google adwords tool: Demand <2500 global monthly, exact-match searches. Supply <250,000 results using quotes around keyword in Google. This is a sweet-spot that will get best results), then add keyword at start of title, start of first line in post, 1-2% keyword density (used naturally) throughout post, and in end of post.

    There's a whole number of things you can do to SEO your site (both on-page & off-page) and attract organic traffic.

    For an example of basic SEO blog posts & a good site structure you can use for your website, check out visit this site I'm building: www.PeakSR.com

    BLOG (Home)
    - For keyword-rich SEO posts (articles, YouTube videos, etc) to help with driving traffic from Google.

    ABOUT - Who you are, what niche you serve (your personal story & website's core task), why you created the site & how visitors can engage with you.

    REVIEWS- For any affiliate products you've used & promoting. Include your affiliate link.

    STORE - E.g. Ebay or Amazon store integration.

    CONTACT - How people can get in touch with you by email, social media, etc.


    Best Wishes

    David

    Forum marketing is a great way to get going. Try going to small business forums, entrepreneur forums etc. and engage the community there.
